Membership in the Columns Society of the University of Memphis is one way we acknowledge those of you who have the generosity and vision to include the University in your planned and estate giving.
Membership is open to any of you who have made provisions for the University of Memphis Foundation through any one of a variety of estate planning options, including bequests, charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities or gifts of life insurance. As a member of the Columns Society, you receive special recognition from the University of Memphis.
We ask that those of you who have made such a provision let us know for several important reasons. First, it is the only way that the University will know about your gift and be able to thank you for it. Second, it allows the University to be clear in its understanding of your gift and that any provisions you make are carried out. Third, recognition of your generosity may well inspire generosity in others. Letting the University of Memphis know of your intentions does not create any obligation on your part, and should you wish to remain anonymous, the University will certainly honor your wish.
If you would like to ensure the strength of the University and provide for the next generation in higher education, please contact Dan H. Murrell, CFRE, Director of Planned Giving, at 901-678-2732 or dan.murrell@memphis.edu.
The future of the University rests on your shoulders.
